Road rash is an easy to play bike game with only 5 keys. Four arrow keys and one extra key to hit. The concept is Secret city bike race to earn money and fame. You are busted if you are caught by the police.The game uses simeple graphics which are very light on the machine. The game can be played even on windows 95. A old configured pentium II Pc can also play the game with very less resources. A Popular Biking racing during the 1998-2000. Even now Road Rash is my favourite game. It can attract even People who are not comfortable with games.

No other motorcycle game before Road Rash had been this realistic, and certainly none had incorporated combat. Each of RR’s many incarnations since has offered graphic improvements upon the original and has taken advantage of the varied platforms’ power, but all have failed to be as inspiring as they could have been. Until recently, the game lacked a critical competitive element; after all, it’s really not much fun to wail on a fellow “rasher” with a chain if you know they’re just part of the game. If that “rasher” is being controlled by your roommate or your girlfriend, however, the action takes on a whole new dimension. With the new Windows 95 version of Road Rash and its eight-player capability, the old standard now has the power to addict.

Over a modem or on a network, players can attempt to blast their real live opponents off the road or bash their heads in with clubs. Up to eight human-controlled bikes can be on screen at the same time. This is all handled pretty efficiently, especially when you consider the speed at which you’re traveling. Latency does pose a problem, though. Imagine you’re flying down the 101, with not an obstacle in sight, when suddenly, your modem hiccups. After 10 seconds of frozen screen, you find that you’re picking yourself up from a nasty collision with a large building. Now how did that happen? Not only does this ruin your race standing, it also slams you back to reality right quick. Flaws aside, though, multi-player racing does add a lot to the game.

Aside from the multi-player mode, you’ve seen this “new” version of Road Rash before. You’ll recognize the now-somewhat-outdated soundtrack featuring all your favorite “who-the-hell-is-that” recording artists like Paw and Hammerbox. (All right, Soundgarden’s in there too - I’ll be fair.) Unfortunately, just like all the other versions of RR, right when you enter the race and want to hear some head-banging rock, it’s replaced by the world’s cheesiest General MIDI music. A little less annoying, but a problem nevertheless, is the fact that EA decided to use separate .WAV files for the sound effects. The result is what we’ll call the “Out-Of-Sync-Super-8-Projector” effect. Picture yourself smacking into the grille of an oncoming pickup only to hear yourself grunt in pain a full second later. Pretty annoying, especially if you’ve played the more efficient PlayStation version of Road Rash
